Those work for wasps, not sure about bees. My mom put up two at her house.

Also, I'm not sure about a whole community/nest/hive. I think they more discourage them from setting up camp. If they already have a hive there it may be past that point. In the situation I was think about there were many wasps, but I don't think they had built a nest yet. Just that they were starting to. IE hanging around certain areas.

They do work good for small-moderate problems though.

Are the fat ones bees or wasps?

Do I call the bee people to remove grenades or an exterminator?

Same situation - same location and looking to have them removed alive.

The fake wasp nests did a great job keeping the wasps away but apparently, the bees don't mind it at all.

If anyone has suggestions on how to deal with a spring-long battle between crows and magpies, it has simply got out of hand and all I can think of is that they are attacking each other's nests.

Bees are cool, but wasps can f--- right off.
